What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can own end-to-end AI/data systems, build production ETL/ML pipelines, and deliver BI products in collaborative, product-focused teams.

I am a data scientist who builds and owns end-to-end AI and analytics systems, from ingestion through LLM-based analysis to BI dashboards and operational integrations. I design reliable ETL pipelines, multi-agent AI flows, and messaging infrastructure used by enterprise clients, and I optimize systems for production scale and low latency.

My work includes architecting real-time pipelines with MongoDB, Debezium, BigQuery, and Tableau Cloud, developing LLM-driven analysis using Google Gemini, and delivering dashboards and automation for clients like JazzCash and Nayatel. I combine strong engineering discipline with applied ML and product-focused delivery to drive measurable business outcomes.
